Couple of years ago, who would have predicted that the Parquet Courts would be the darling of the indie music world. The Brooklyn via Texan Americana punk rockers have literally lit up the critics with their second record, Light Up Gold. Vice filmmaker/global editor, Andy Capper, traveled with the foursome on a three-week journey that encompasses Texas, where we meet their parents, the south of the border for Festival Nrmal, where fans scream hysteria over Sky Ferreira (kissing Cole footage included) and London, where the lads marvel over the studio Peel Sessions took place. Watch the full documentary below courtesy of Noisey.
